For another perspective on the single-season all-stars lineup idea, see Rob Neyer's Big Book of Baseball Lineups, where Neyer put together a lineup for each franchise. His analysis is more subjective than my WAR-reliant list. Here's what he had for the Expos (published in 2003):

Pos | Year | Player | Notes
--|:--|:--|:--
C | 1982 | Gary Carter | Not easy to pick just one, as he played brilliantly in four other seasons before going to Mets; 29 homers and great defense.
1B | 1982 | Al Oliver | A professional hitter's greatest season as a hitter; led NL with 204 hits, 43 doubles, 109 RBI, and .331 batting average.
2B | 1997 | Mike Lansing | Career highs with 45 doubles and 20 homers, and on May 7 he became second NL 2B to homer twice in the same inning.
SS | 2001 | Orlando Cabrera | And it's not even close. Cabrera played brilliant defense at shortstop-- uncommon for Expos-- and also slugged .428.
3B | 1987 | Tim Wallach | Early injury to Hubie Brooks forced Wallach into cleanup slot and he responded with 26 HR, NL-best 42 doubles, 123 RBI.
LF | 1985 | Tim Raines | Played in career-high 160 games, tied for 2nd in NL with .320 average, and ranked 2nd with 70 steals and 115 runs.
CF | 1981 | Andre Dawson | In short season, hit 24 HR, started All-Star Game, won his second Gold Glove, and runner-up to Schmidt in MVP vote.
RF | Pick | Vladimir Guerrero | It's just about impossible to choose between four of Guerrero's five full seasons; in 2002, he finished one homer shy of joining 40/40 club.
SP | 1997 | Pedro Martinez | After three solid seasons with Expos, broke through with 1.90 ERA to win Cy Young honors in last season with club.
RP | 1973 | Mike Marshall | Led league with 31 sves and 92 relief appearances, and also won 14 games and pitched 179 innings.
